Nikki Sixx left the band to rejoin Mötley Crüe in January 2005 for a reunion tour supporting a greatest hits compilation but still has writing credits on the album.

Ginger of The Wildhearts joined as second guitarist but soon left not before contributing writing to four album tracks.

After Brides founder, Nikki Sixx, left the band to rejoin Mötley Crüe for a reunion tour[1] the Brides were expected to go on hiatus, however co-founder Tracii Guns decided to continue without Sixx[2] bringing in former Amen bassist Scott Sorry as his replacement.

"[10] Album track Dime’s in Heaven was written as a tribute to recently deceased Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell.

[13] Upon release, Runaway Brides failed to match its predecessor and did not chart as well as first single White Trash.

Despite assurances, it looked likely that the Brides were to split up, with Tracii joining Quiet Riot, a move that was to be short lived after he parted ways less than a month later.

I saw Sleaze Metal in this album, I witnessed a tension for a Monster Magnet "vibe", I assumed Grunge was taking its toll at some point.
